With all the customs of the sacred shrine.

Magnus Bellicosus:

Our brother’s words have made it clear to you,

That we have been induced by solemn signs

To call you to the Threshold of our Shrine.

The Master soon will speak to you and show

The deeper reasons for thus calling you.

But first I must, so far as may be meet,

Tell you of this great man, whose work hath made

Our present union possible today.
